DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Spray a 10-inch round
baking pan with cooking spray, then line with a
10-inch round piece of parchment paper. Assemble
the hand mixer attachment on the power base,
then install the beaters.
2. In a medium microwave-safe bowl, add the
dark chocolate chips and butter. In 30 second
increments, melt the chocolate and butter together
in the microwave. Check between intervals, being
careful not to burn. Press power to begin mixing
on speed 1 and then gradually increase to speed
3. Mix until the chocolate and butter are smooth
and melted. Add the vanilla extract and continue
to mix until combined.
3. In a separate medium bowl, add the egg yolks
and sugar. Press power to begin mixing on speed
1 and then gradually increase to speed 5. Mix until
the mixture has lightened in color, about 3 minutes.
Then, add the reserved chocolate mixture to the
egg yolk mixture and mix on speed 3 until just
combined, about 1 minute.
4. In a clean medium bowl, add the egg whites.
Press power to begin mixing on speed 1 and then
gradually increase to speed 5. Mix until the egg
whites are light and fluffy and hold stiff peaks,
about 3 minutes.
5. Using a rubber spatula, carefully fold the egg whites
into the chocolate mixture. Then, transfer batter to
the prepared pan. Place the cake in the oven and
bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick is
inserted in the center and comes out clean.
6. When baking is complete, remove pan from oven
and allow to cool completely.
7. Once the cake is cooled, prepare the chocolate
ganache. In a medium microwave-safe bowl, add
the heavy cream and microwave for 2 minutes,
then add the semi-chocolate chips and let sit for
1 minute.
8. Press power to begin mixing on speed 1 and then
gradually increase to speed 3. Mix until the cream
and chocolate are smooth and melted. Pour the
ganache mixture over the cooled cake. Serve
immediately or refrigerate for 1 hour and allow the
chocolate ganache to set.
